New pre-made video templates
National Picnic Month
We're kicking things off with a theme for the whole month - picnics! As the warmer weather is finally here, it's the perfect time to get outdoors and enjoy tasty snacks with friends.
To help you engage your audiences throughout this month, we've created a quick animation all about the best picnic spots. The video ends with a question to spark engagement.
But remember, as all elements are customizable, you can always turn this into your favorite picnic foods, outfits or whatever you fancy!
Tokyo 2020 Closing Ceremony
On June 8th Tokyo 2020 sadly comes to an end, so make sure you seize opportunities to get involved in the action before the closing ceremony!
To help you make your own animated olympics content, we created this template and more. In this case, as we're seeing the medallists roll in, use our template to celebrate the winners and cheer on your team.
Just switch our question marks for flags and edit the title then this animation is ready to go! That's got to be an editing record... 🥇
National Book Lovers Day
There are few things better than curling up with a good book - especially with a hot drink and preferably a cute furry pet by your side 🐶
Showcase your favorite books with our bright and fun template. All you have to do is upload a photo of the cover and hit publish!
National Tell a Joke Day
Does this feel like deja vu...? You're not imagining things - there was also a joke day in July but we thought 'hey, who can ever hear too many jokes?!'.
Which is why we added this fun customizable joke template that's perfect for adding to Instagram or Facebook Stories.
All that's missing is your own custom joke that's so bad it's good 😂
World Photo Day
Next up is the perfect occasion to get nostalgic! World photo day is all about celebrating the medium of photography and how it connects us and educates us.
To help you get involved, we've created a template with super cute frames you can use to share your favorite photos from the last year or longer. Just switch out the photos and edit the text to start!
Women's Equality Day 
Last but by no means least, we want to help you join conversations around Women's Equality Day. This is a really important topic and while progress has been made, we know there's still a long way to go to reach true equality.
This bold and bright template will ensure you attract attention. Just click on the text to switch our quote for one of your favorites. Then get staring across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and even in your emails and on your website.
